I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.
Lest I be full, and deny you, and say, Who is the LORD? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain.
For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are silly children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.
Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord takes away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed.
So he called every one of his lord's debtors to him, and said to the first, How much owe you to my lord?
And I say to you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when you fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations.
This wisdom descends not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
